28679Paris mai 1942 Tirage argentique d'époque 170 x 230 mm. Beau tirage original d'atelier d'époque légendé au dos « Jean Cocteau Mai 1942 » par le photographe avec tampons « photo Papillon 3 passage de l'Union Inv. 46-07 Paris 7ème ». . Le Centre Pompidou conserve une autre remarquable photographie de cette même séance inventoriée sous le n° AM 2012-6112 mais datée de 1939 ; la mention manuscrite portée sur notre tirage contemporaine de l'épreuve invite très probablement à corriger cette datation. Formé par François Kollar membre de l'AEAR reporter en Espagne puis portraitiste attitré des éditions Denoël et Steel André Papillon est un photographe discret mais à la technique sûre et reconnue. Ce beau portrait livre le poète posant devant la sculpture de ferronnerie figurant un grand oiseau fantastique que l'on serait tenté de lire dans l'univers même de Cocteau comme un coq héraldique - allusion possible au Coq et l'Arlequin - dont la silhouette prolonge comme en négatif le profil même du poète.

With a woodcut portrait of the author a large woodcut vignette on the title page of each part a full-page armorial woodcut to the dedication to Marquis de Boyer de Bandol a full-page woodcut portrait of Saint Andrew printed in chiaroscuro in the first part; 16 full-page woodcut plates illustrating the tools and technique of the art of woodcutting and 5 full-page plates illustrating the various stages of woodcut colour-printing in chiaroscuro in the second part; 2 full-page plates with 12 small woodcut illustrations each and 2 woodcut plates showing the tools and technique of erasing and of making shadows in woodcuts in the supplement; and numerous woodcut head- and tailpieces monograms vignettes and illustrations in the text several full-page throughout the whole work. 3 parts in 2 volumes. XXXII 540; XV 1 388; 4 124 pp. First edition of a beautifully illustrated historical and practical manual on the art of producting woodcuts for printing also known as woodcutting. The work is divided into three parts the first focussing on the history of woodcutting the second on the technical aspects and the third is a supplement. The author was one of the best woodcut artists of his time. The present work was based on his personal experience and offered the finest specimen of his own work as a woodcutter including some beautiful and rare woodcut chiaroscuro prints. Jean Michel Papillon 1698-1776 enjoyed great fame as a woodcutter and his workshop included many noble pupils. Woodcutting was much "en vogue" at the time and following the example of Madame de Pompadour woodcutting was practiced by many members of Paris High Society including the Counts de Breteuil De Forbin La Barden Lalive de Jully the Marquisses de Montmirail De Chamont and De Rouvre the Duke de Chevreuse the Duchess de Luynes the Princess Rohan-Rochefort etc. Papillon also worked for the Imprimerie Royal and made a considerable number of woodcut vignettes and devices for libraries and publishers. His collected woodcuts were left to the Cabinet des Estampes.With a bookplate a black shield with the monogram "AD" mounted on the front pastedown of both volumes and a later annotation on the first flyleaf of the second volume "Une comète se montrera en 1834 ou 1833". Both volumes have been rebacked with the original spines laid down the boards have been rubbed. The work is somewhat browned throughout with some foxing in the second volume.

He contributed to the revival of this technique which in the previous century was mainly reserved for the illustration and decoration of popular prints. Well-known as an ornamentalist Papillon engraved numerous typographic headpieces notably for official prints by the Imprimerie Royale as well as tailpieces for large luxury editions such as La Fontaine's <em>Fables</em> illustrated by Oudry. He also wrote all the articles concerning his art for Diderot and d'Alembert's <em>Encyclopédie</em>.</p><p>Jean Michel Papillon 1698-1776 was considered in the Eighteenth Century to be the only learned wood engraver an art long considered as minor. He was the author of an important <em>Traité historique et pratique de la gravure en bois</em> 1766 which was the source of much information and from 1747 he collaborated closely with the editors of the <em>Encyclopédie</em> providing the décorative letters vignettes fleurons and tailpieces in the dictionary and the volumes of illustrations. This contribution which sometimes seems to have led to tensions has rarely been emphasized or studied even though the engraver provides in his Treatise mimerons dues about his contribution and choices of illustrations for the <em>Encyclopédie</em>. Papillon also signed some articles but not only the ones we would expect and his relations with Diderot seem to have been difficult.</p><p><strong>A precious copy enriched with a folded autograph letter bound in blond calf with the coat of arms</strong>of <em>Guillaume Gabriel Pavée de Vendeuvre</em> born in Paris in 1779 deputy then peer of France.

Il contribua au renouveau de cette technique qui au siècle précédent était principalement réservée à l'illustration et au décor des impressions populaires. Très connu comme ornemaniste Papillon grava de nombreux bandeaux typographiques notamment pour des impressions officielles de l'Imprimerie Royale des culs-de-lampe pour les grandes éditions de luxe telle les <em>Fables</em> de La Fontaine illustrées par Oudry. Il rédigea aussi tous les articles concernant son art pour l'<em>Encyclopédie</em> de Diderot et d'Alembert.</p><p>Jean Michel Papillon 1698-1776 passait au XVIIIème siècle pour le seul graveur en bois savant dans un art depuis longtemps tenu pour mineur.

Cette contribution qui semble avoir été parfois tendue a rarement été soulignée et étudiée. Pourtant le graveur livre dans son <em>Traité</em> de nombreuses clés sur sa participation et les choix iconographiques faits pour l'<em>Encyclopédie</em>.
